A feel-good, rhyming picture book, with a positive message about being the hero of your own story!

Wolf loves reading. There's just one problem. The more he reads, the more he starts to realise something... Every book has a hero; the heroes are handsome, tough and strong; and most importantly, the heroes are never, ever wolves.

But when a giant comes stomping into the library one day, can Wolf find the courage to speak up? Because maybe heroes don't have to be handsome, tough and strong. Maybe true heroes are kind and brave - just like Wolf!

A Hero Called Wolf is an uplifting story set in a magical fairytale world. From Lucy Rowland and Ben Mantle, the creators of Little Red Reading Hood and The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Book.
